Bright Horizons is a money hungry, corporate entity (owned by Bain Capital). Teachers are very…read moreunderpaid and unhappy so the turnover is very high. Notice all their teachers are either really young or "older". I think I spent more time in the doctor's office with 6 ear infections in a year, RSV, you name it and so if you do the math, the time lost from work does not justify the cost. My child would come home with other children's clothing, bottles, utensils, etc. I can only imagine what he was being fed onsite. One child was stabbed by another child with scissors and it took a very, very long time and appeals to corporate headquarters to get this child (with a history of violent tendencies) kicked out. So also if you have 2 children, there was no sibling discount. Director was stalking me to send the 2nd child (almost 4K a month). I took it up to the Regional Director and it took ages for them to even get back to me. Finally they got back to me and said it was 5%. Insult to injury. If you do the math, it was equivalent to private college tuition. Hmmm, considering I lose a week a month to illnesses, I think it's not worth it. Then 2 more moms having second children left. After I left, I heard they lost a flurry of teachers plus their director. Not surprised. They need to really do something to make the Wilton community trust them again. Wilton moms have more negative things to say than positive. You'll pay a premium to send your child there but you will not get premium care. What they need to do to improve is to slash overall tuition for everyone and hire a director that really cares about the children and the teachers. Help the teachers love their jobs and then they will love the children. Hire detail oriented teachers. Sanitize the facilities better. Stop being so harsh on their teachers and show the parents that they are not greedy, corporate entities but a daycare that really cares.

I've experienced MUCH better and for less the tuition cost that this center asks you to pay for…read moreapparent quality. The presentation of this school is good at first until you really start to familiarize yourself with how it operates. You walk in and in amazement see all the colors, the framework of the facility, all the big smiles and happy hellos... and if you are lucky you may actually see their Director there once in a while. I have only been there about 6 months and I have already withdrawn my child from this "school". The teachers, though seem loving of the children, complain constantly about their management and how they are treated. They make mistakes, not small ones, big one regarding safety of the children. One fed a baby milk with a bad milk allergy, another child was exposed to a stranger visitor without parent consent, they do not check licenses when someone picks up a child (even though they are good about needing a form). One family left abruptly while there, one teacher did, one regional manager as well and now myself along with two families are in the process of looking to transfer our kids. I cannot tell you how many countless times my child came home with someone else's clothing on. There are some things you expect from day cares and other things that are simply not appropriate in nature... the fact you are told y ou can give feedback and ask questions only to be countered with stories/excuses etc is the worst customer service Ive ever seen! Do yourself a favor and save the additional $600 a month and apply it to your child's bank account for college. Paying more and having a branded name of BH, most definitely does not guarantee you quality of care. Their lack of overall leadership at the center level and at a regional level when you file complaints is an outrage and utterly disgraceful. It's a very very sad situation when you are a parent and come to learn what the atmosphere is actually like there when they spend over 6 hours a day with these people.

The staff was good enough. . .but honestly, staff ratings across these daycares are always good. Old Hill staff is no better than Bright Horizon (top employer by fortune) or Kindercare (maybe the cheaper of these). What makes this place so bad, was the incredible amount of "We are a westport daycare, how dare you think we need to take your needs into account". This place was closed more often than local schools, and more often than any daycare i've done business with. The larger daycares are open EVERY snowday, even the big ice storm that came through. . as long as they had power. These guys would close if they thought that maybe, eventually, someone might slip. School systems have to close, sometimes, they have bus. Yet my work (a large insurer) doesn't close if the school system is closed. My wife work doesn't close if the school system is closed. these guys remain the most ridiculous, ill fitting, don't get why they exist daycare. Seriously - you can do better; and cheaper - I did multiple times over. Maybe the other reviewers should try another daycare, before posting a glowing review about incompetence.

We've recognized so much growth/development in a short time period. The facilities are state of the art. I love that they have a retina scanner, temperature monitors and the Zono Sanitizing Cabinet which uses ultraviolet light (not heat) to clean, so it's ideal for things like crayons, books, soft toys, backpacks, etc. Additionally, the classrooms and outdoor space is brand new and impressive. There's constant supervision of the children and their educators teach a curriculum that focuses on developing STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). The educators send pictures throughout the day of my daughter enjoying the activates. Additionally, the educators send a daily report at the end of each school day. The daily report provides insight into Nap Schedule, Meals (what she ate), Bathroom (schedule/ diaper changes) and Activities with which STEAM area was the focus of the activity. Lastly, Kristen (owner) and Nadia (director) are so personable and accommodating to our changing needs. Our daughter loves Kristen and Nadia and we're so thankful for them both.

In my first class, Christine was so welcoming and caring - it is enthralling to be present in her passion to let everyone be immersed in the joy of pottery. Priscilla is the same in her compassion and knowledge. They are two wonderful women who allow this beautiful place to flourish with incredible art lovers from all walks of life. Members come from all over Fairfield county and beyond - I'm lucky it is in my town. Teaching pottery is difficult because everyone progresses differently and the instructors here do an amazing job or balancing the individual handholding and maintaining order of the class. While I work on my pieces, I get to observe some of the instructors whether they teach a group class or a private tutoring class. To share a few shoutouts: Safiya is fantastic with teens in boot camps - (I just learned that she is starting to teach Friday evening classes!) Julie also is a caring and competent teacher. Cass is an outstanding instructor with a wealth of knowledge; and Kate is such a sweetie, too! All Everyone is here because we love the joy of creativity and respect each other's artistic abilities. I enjoy conversations that accompany creating art across diverse age/gender/backgrounds here. There's something for everyone. Whether you are a tired parent looking for a mental health respite, an exhausted soul looking to enrich your artistic side, or to glimpse wonders in your own creation in general, I would recommend that you pay a visit and talk to the owners what you would like to do. They would be happy to help you find a way.
